So that even complicated regulatory tasks can be presented to the user in a manner
which is clear and simple and ensures high measurement accuracy, today's electronic
control systems make increasing use of microprocessors. However, the benefits of
these systems are countered by the disadvantage that increased measurement accu-
racy is accompanied by sensitivity to interference. In order to minimise the effect which
interference may have on the regulator the user also must take account of a number of
points when installing a new regulator.
Assistance here is provided by standard DIN VDE 0843 on the electromagnetic com-
patibility (EMC) of measurement, control and regulatory devices in industrial process
technology. The following table shows, for example, the maximum interference levels
to which (according to the standard), an appliance may be exposed.

As the values given in the table are maximum values, operational values should
remain well below them. However, in practice this is possible only with difficulty, as
even a normal contactor without interference suppression produces interference
pulses of up to 3.0 kV. For this reason we recommend that the following principles be
taken into account during installation:
Try to eliminate all sources of interference by carrying out interference suppression
and minimising the interference level. Radio interference suppression is required
under VDE 0875 and confirmed by VDE 0874. In principle the interference must be
eliminated at source. The nearer the interference suppresser is to the source of
interference the greater its effect.
Interference spreads through wires or by electromagnetic radiation. It is usually the
former which interferes most seriously with regulation systems.
Possible interference sources (to name a few) include:
bouncing contacts when switching loads
switching off inductive loads (contactors, motors, solenoid valves, etc.)
unsatisfactory routing of wires, too small cross-sections
loose contacts
rhythmically changing power stages (power converters)
power breakers
high-frequency generators
